Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari Disappears
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Antonio Esfandiari was once crippled to 725 in chips on Day 1b, but he ran it back up to finish on around 12,000 and bring that into Day 2. Esfandiari managed to make his way to the money, but his quest for a fourth World Series of Poker gold bracelet has come to an end short of the goal.
Esfandiari was all in for the 
against the 
for "Toothpick" Tony Kambouroglou. Esfandiari flopped the lead when it came 
and held through a 
turn, but a 
on the river delivered Kambouroglou with the winning hand.
